#1 Republicans currently possess only one tool, one weapon, to use against the rogue IRS and DOJ. That is the power of the purse. Stand firm and defund the bastards! Shut the whole government down if necessary. To hell with the full faith and credit of the United States government. This is far more serious than paying the Chinese who hold treasury bonds. This is more than the government's credit rating. This is the government's legitimacy.

#3 Abu, I think the way these ‘omnibus’ spending bills are structured Congress can only approve everything or reject everything, they can’t carve out DoJ etc. for defunding.

#4 Yeah? So when was the last time Congress passed an honest budget instead of "omnibus spending bills" and continuing resolutions? Crooks.

#5 DC cannot even agree to cut 1% in a 'debt ceiling crisis'; I do not think there are any conditions which would facilitate a cut in any budget.

#6 In DC, a decrease in the rate of increase is called a "cut."

#8 Abu is right, you can’t defund the IRS, but you can freeze funding for a line item like a particular salary or a project the the new FBI building. It is called the Holman Rule.
